I am slowly, but securely, starting to experiment more with panels and their placements. Shapes will probably follow soon. After that I am unsure what other aspect of panels there's left to improve, so I guess the development will stagnate after that point. But nevermind such details!

There are few things in Pokémon that are so obviously skewed yet strangely accepted by society as the pre-switch before facing the next pokémon in battle. I don't know, maybe the opponents shout what they're planning next and our hero simply happens to act fast. It would thus be irresponsible not to take advantage of the situation. Or at least that's what I tell myself when I pound a Youngster's Pidgey with my significantly heavier Graveler. Nonetheless, no other character has apparently picked up on this nefarious tactic, hence why I alone can peacefully reap the rewards. Go me.

Vanessa aka :iconnessade99: helped out by also bringing up how Revives are used by opponents (or rather, how they're NOT used). I've had the setting and dialogue for this strip somewhat clear for a long time, but it lacked a good finishing panel as the main issue is revealed early on, so Vanessa's input made for a real good ending. This also called for some excessive panelwork which quickly broke my usual 4-panel limit, but I wasn't emotionally attached to it anyway.

Took some time before I got done with this thing. My sudden and intense addiction to Cave Story did little to encourage my production. Fun and insanely frustrated times were had though!

This is what I think it is right? Gary complaining about using a type advantage Pokemon on him?

It's about 'Switch mode', which can only be used during the game's story mode (and not in Battle Tower or against other players). Type advantage is perfectly sensible, but getting a free switch before sending out his next mon is a completely different thing.

Ah, okay.

To be fair, Blue doesn't have to go through half a dozen other trainers in order to fight the player.

Even though we can use items and switch Pokemon more freely, there's one thing we can't do that literally every other Pokemon Trainer can: Heal all their Pokemon completely, even PP, outside of battle without the use of a Pokemon Center. I think that's a reasonably fair trade.

Haha!

Now I know I can beat Red without worrying about anything.

Do you see me complaining now?

This is why I preferred it in the older games where if you do switch to your pokemon between opponents it does at least let them send theirs out before yours is switched, it makes more sense for you to actually see your opponent to know what to switch to, is the player psychic or something?

And that is why all trainers in the world attack the player on sight. To troll him right back. Or have you ever seen them react to each other and start battles?

Hiker: There he is! Kill him! Kill him!

Gary: So, I see you just came out of a cave? Let's battle a-hole.
